In this role, Cole ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promotes efficient, transparent procurement practices that align with agency mission objectives. They typically handle complex service and supply contracts requiring detailed technical evaluations, competitive bidding, and socioeconomic compliance reviews, with a focus on engineering, waste management, and specialized building equipment services. While specific contractor names are not available, Cole maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships spanning small businesses, mid-tier firms, and large prime contractors. Their procurement approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, clear performance metrics, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure value and accountability. Cole fosters collaborative relationships with industry stakeholders to enhance market understanding and promote fair access to federal opportunities. Cole demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 41% of their acquisitions structured as set-asides. The predominant set-aside preferences include 8(a) competed contracts and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, alongside a significant portion awarded under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity for disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms while maintaining robust competition.
